  4. 4

    Remove the head of garlic used to cook the beef and place it in a blender. Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles, then add them to the blender as well. Add some of the cooking broth and blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Once the chile mixture is smooth, strain it for a finer texture. Add it back to the pot with the beef broth, then add the shredded beef and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes so the beef absorbs the flavors.
